![]() ![]() The Primary Care Providers are mostly alright, but anytime I deal with specialists it's "I'm doing you a favor by providing you this treatment so it's my way or the highway." I've actually been told by a VA employee, "It's not like you have to pay for it (medical service at the VA)". There has been a marked improvement, but even now they are very intolerant of anything except compliance and submission (in my experience). My wife used to get ready to go to the VA like she was training for a pro boxing match. They were skeptical, jaded, and very adversarial.Īnd not only for ratings and benefits for treatment too. I've heard it's different now but when I got out of the military you would have thought the benefits you got came out of the VA employees paychecks. That is how the VA calculates your ultimate disability rating for compensation. Your next condition is condition 3 which is 10% of the remaining 56%.ĥ6% - 5.6% = 50.4% (you're at 50% disabled) So your rating is 56% enabled or 40% disabled. Here's where we get complicated, because that's not 20% of 100%. Now your next condition is condition 2 which is 20%. Then you subtract the highest percentage disabling condition (in this case condition 1). So the way the VA calculates your overall disability rating is like this: So let's say you are rated for 4 conditions. I've been asked this some many times I figured I might as well make a post about it.
